Make GitLab frontends repository the canonical location for code

To do so, the following need to be taken care of:

  • make Alioth repositories read-only
  • verify that the GitLab mirrors are up-to-date
  • stop mirroring
  • update the project description
  • update Alioth references in the source (see frontends@54821724)
  • update the website (see website@fb6704b7)

Making the Alioth repositories read-only can be done by making the pre-receive hook on Alioth exit with a non-success status. The script should echo information on where push requests should be directed from here on and how to switch a local repository over.
